"/tmp/" is populated with hundreds of thousands of symlinks to "/etc/cups/ppd/Hewlett-Packard-hp-LaserJet-4350.ppd" which are all named like "51465xxxxxxxx" (where x is a hexadecimal digit) and are created at a rate of aprox. 1500 new symlinks per second. The filenames are not counted up but seem to appear in random order. During this time the process "/usr/bin/python /usr/share/system- config-printer/scp-dbus-service.py" is using ~130% CPU. As soon as I kill this process, no more symlinks are created. When I wait for the inodes to run out, this process's CPU usage drops to ~7% for a few seconds before the process suddenly disapears from the process list. This indicates that all the symlinks are created by this one process. If I delete the symlinks now and print another document, things start over again. ---+ Furher notes This does not happen when printing with lpr gv It does happen when printing with Firefox Chromium LibreOffice An unpriviledged user could break down the system by filling up all free inodes on the root fs, so this might be security relevant.
